Opening of the Drone Tech Center: A New Stage in the Development of the Drone Industry in Kazakhstan

On March 27, 2024, the Drone Tech Center opened its doors at the Astana Hub International Technopark. Its activities are focused on creating a unique space for sharing experience and ideas, as well as fostering innovative solutions in the field of drone technologies.

The event, organized by Astana Hub in partnership with AARDVARK, brought together top experts, business and education representatives, and officials from the Civil Aviation Authority of Kazakhstan. During the event, guests had the opportunity not only to learn about the prospects for the development of the drone industry in Kazakhstan but also to familiarize themselves with practical aspects of working with drones, including virtual flights using VR headsets and hands-on use of real drones.

One of the key areas of activity for the Drone Tech Center is education. The center offers a number of programs and initiatives aimed at training and professional development for both beginners and experienced industry professionals.

More than 16 organizations in Kazakhstan are successfully using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in various fields, including military, law enforcement, medical, and commercial sectors. They are used for fighting fires, searching for victims, reconnaissance, delivering ammunition and medicines, conducting research, and monitoring the environment in agriculture and other areas.
